“Safe Harbor” Statement under the United States

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-K are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others: general economic conditions; movements in interest rates; the market price of oil and natural gas; the risks associated with exploration and production; the Company’s ability, or the ability of its operating subsidiary, Altex Oil Corporation (“AOC”), to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new properties; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business; uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures; the strength and financial resources of the Company’s competitors; the Company’s ability and AOC’s ability to find and retain skilled personnel; climatic conditions; availability and cost of material and equipment; delays in anticipated start-up dates; environmental risks; the results of financing efforts; and other uncertainties detailed elsewhere herein.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Altex Industries, Inc. (or the "Registrant" or the "Company," each of which terms, when used herein, refer to Altex Industries, Inc. and/or its subsidiary) is a holding company with one full-time employee that was incorporated in Delaware in 1985. Through its operating subsidiary, AOC, the Company currently owns interests, including working interests, in productive onshore oil and gas properties, has bought and sold producing oil and gas properties, and, to a lesser extent, has participated in the drilling of exploratory and development wells, and in recompletions of existing wells.

All of AOC’s interests are in properties operated by others. An interest owner in a property not operated by that interest owner must rely on information regarding the property provided by the operator, even though there can be no assurance that such information is complete, accurate, or current. In addition, an owner of a working interest in a property is potentially responsible for 100% of all liabilities associated with that property, regardless of the size of the working interest actually owned.

The operators of producing properties in which AOC has an interest sell produced oil and gas to refiners, pipeline operators, and processing plants. If a refinery, pipeline, or processing plant that purchases such production were taken out of service, the operator could be forced to halt the production that is purchased by such refinery, pipeline, or plant.

Although many entities produce oil and gas, competitive factors play a material role in AOC's production operations only to the extent that such factors affect demand for and prices of oil and gas and demand for, supply of, and prices of oilfield services. The sale of oil and gas is regulated by Federal, state, and local agencies, and AOC is also subject to Federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws and regulations generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation. AOC regularly assesses its exposure to environmental liability and to reclamation, restoration, and dismantlement expense (“RR&D”), which activities are covered by Federal, state, and local regulation. AOC does not believe that it currently has any material exposure to environmental liability or to RR&D, net of salvage value, although this cannot be assured. (See Management's Discussion and Analysis below.)

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company’s estimated reserves at September 30, 2012, are 5,200 barrels of proved, developed oil reserves associated with the Company’s 4.4% override in the Glo Field in Campbell County, Wyoming. The reserve estimate is prepared by the Company’s registered profession petroleum engineer; management supplies the engineer with ownership and revenue data and reviews the reserve estimate for reasonableness. The Company has not reported to, or filed with, any other Federal authority or agency any estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves since the beginning of the last fiscal year. At December 7, 2012, the Company owned working interests in 2 gross (0.22 net) productive oil wells (which produce associated natural gas), no wells producing only natural gas, and 203 gross (13 net) developed acres. At December 7, 2012, the Company did not own a working interest in any undeveloped acreage, and, to the best knowledge of the Company, none of the wells in which the Company owns an interest is a multiple completion. However, certain wells in which the Company owns an interest do produce from multiple zones. The Company did not participate in the drilling of any wells during the year ended September 30, 2010 (“FY10"), the year ended September 30, 2011 (“FY11"), or the year ended September 30, 2012 (“FY12"). At December 7, 2012, the Company was not engaged in any oil and gas operations of material importance. All of the Company’s production is located in Utah and Wyoming. For additional information, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements below.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition

In FY12 the Company used $188,000 cash in operating activities and also used $44,000 cash to acquire 331,263 shares of its Common Stock. Also in FY12, the Company received back a deposit of $500,000 cash it had made in connection with a proposed investment in FY11, when it was unable to negotiate acceptable definitive agreements. Consequently, cash balances increased $268,000 from $2,584,000 at September 30, 2011, to $2,852,000 at September 30, 2012. Excluding receipt of the deposit, cash balances declined $232,000. At September 30, 2011, other accrued expenses of $106,000 included $70,000 in salary payable to the Company’s president, pursuant to his employment agreement, that the president had elected to defer. During FY12 the Company paid its president the deferred $70,000 and also reversed an accrued liability of $26,000 for which the Company was no longer liable. At September 30, 2012, other accrued expenses of $195,000 includes $176,000 in salary payable to the Company’s president, pursuant to his employment agreement, that the president has elected to defer, as well as $8,000 in related accrued payroll tax.

The Company is likely to experience negative cash flow from operations unless and until the Company invests in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in another venture that produces sufficient cash flow from operations. With the exception of capital expenditures related to production acquisitions or drilling or recompletion activities or an investment in another venture that produces cash flow from operations, none of which are currently planned, the cash flows that could result from such acquisitions, activities, or investments, and the possibility of a material change in the current level of interest rates or of oil and gas prices, the Company knows of no trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Except for cash generated by the operation of the Company's producing oil and gas properties, asset sales, and interest income, the Company has no internal or external sources of liquidity other than its working capital. At December 7, 2012, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

The Company regularly assesses its exposure to both environmental liability and RR&D. The Company does not believe that it currently has any material exposure to environmental liability or to RR&D, net of salvage value, although this cannot be assured.

Liquidity

Operating Activities. In FY11 and FY12 net cash used in operating activities was $243,000 and $188,000, respectively.

Investing Activities. In FY11 the Company made a deposit of $500,000 in connection with a proposed investment, which deposit was returned in FY12 when the Company was unable to negotiate acceptable definitive agreements.

Financing Activities. In FY11 the Company expended $44,000 to acquire 331,263 shares of its common stock.

Results of Operations

Oil and gas sales decreased from $125,000 in FY11 to $103,000 in FY12 because of lower quantities sold. Interest income decreased from $31,000 in FY11 to $20,000 in FY12 because of lower realized interest rates. General and administrative expense decreased from $461,000 in FY11 to $386,000 in FY12 principally because the Company reduced the president’s salary from $297,000 in FY11 to $200,000 in FY12.

At the current levels of net oil and gas production, cash balances, interest rates, and oil and gas prices, the Company’s revenue is unlikely to exceed its expenses. Unless and until the Company invests a substantial portion of its cash balances in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in one or more other ventures that produce revenue and net income, the Company is likely to experience net losses. With the exception of unanticipated RR&D, unanticipated environmental expense, and possible changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices, the Company is not aware of any other trends, events, or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

The consolidated financial statements follow the signature page.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act reports. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

Item 9b. Other Information

None.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Altex Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altex Industries, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Altex Industries, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ALTEX INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011 and 2010

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Nature of Operations: Altex Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, jointly referred to as “the Company,” owns interests, including working interests, in productive oil and gas properties located in Utah and Wyoming. The Company’s revenues are generated from interest income from cash deposits and from sales of oil and gas production. The Company’s operations are significantly affected by changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Altex Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment: The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations, under which exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, annual delay rentals, and exploratory dry hole costs, are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to acquire unproved properties, to drill and to equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and to equip development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs relating to proved oil and gas properties are depleted on the units-of-production method based on estimated quantities of proved reserves and estimated RR&D (Note 6). Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost thereof and the accumulated depreciation, depletion, and valuation allowance are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Actual RR&D expense in excess of estimated RR&D expense is charged to operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review compares the asset’s carrying value with management’s best estimate of the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs. If the expected future cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset is recognized. No such impairment may be restored in the future. The Company’s proved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on an individual field basis.

Cash Equivalents and Fair Values of Financial Instruments: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

Income Taxes: The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company reports uncertainty in income taxes according to GAAP. There was no increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits during the current year. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expense. There was neither interest nor penalty at September 30, 2012.

Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

Concentrations of credit risk: The Company maintains significant amounts of cash and sometimes permits cash balances in national banking institutions to exceed FDIC limits.

Revenue recognition: Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is from interest income and sales of oil and gas production. Interest income is recognized when earned. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on sales or delivery date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2007 the FASB issued guidance now included in ASC 825-10 "Financial Instruments," which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company has not currently elected the fair value option for non-financial instruments and is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Income Taxes. At September 30, 2012, the Company had a depletion carryforward of $860,000 and a net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") of $1,680,000. $274,000, $303,000, $317,000, $330,000, $272,000, and $184,000 of this NOL expire in the years 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031 and 2032, respectively. The approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012, computed in accordance with the Income Tax Topic (Topic 740) of the Codification, is as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets
Depletion carryforward	$	301,000
Net operating loss carryforward		588,000
Accrued shareholder salary		62,000
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets		951,000
Less valuation allowance		(951,000	)
Net Deferred Tax Asset	$	-

A valuation allowance has been provided because of the uncertainty of future realization. Income tax expense is different from amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate for the following reasons:

	2012			2011
Tax benefit at 35% of net earnings	$	(102,000	)		(119,000	)
State income tax, net of Federal benefit		-			-
Change in valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets		102,000			119,000
Income tax expense	$	-			-

As of September 30, 2012, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefit as a result of uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s tax years that remain subject to examination are 2009 - 2012 (Federal jurisdiction) and 2008 - 2012 (state jurisdictions).

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions. Effective October 1, 2011, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with its president which provides for a base salary of $200,000 annually, plus escalations of not less than 3% annually. The agreement contains provisions providing for payments to the president in the event of his disability or termination of his employment. The agreement also provides that he will receive an annual bonus equal to no less than 20% of the Company’s earnings before income tax, payable, at his election, in cash or common stock of the Company at then fair market value. On August 31, 2011, the Company entered into a letter of intent, subject to negotiation of definitive agreements, regarding a potential $500,000 investment in a company in which the president’s brother-in-law owned 19% of the issued and outstanding common stock. In connection with the letter of intent, the Company transferred $500,000 to the target company. On October 21, 2011, the parties terminated negotiations, and the target company returned the $500,000 to the Company. At September 30, 2012, other accrued expenses of $195,000 includes $176,000 in salary payable to the Company’s president, pursuant to his employment agreement, that the president has elected to defer.

Note 4 - Major Customers. In 2012 the Company had three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's oil and gas sales and who, in aggregate, accounted for 90% of oil and gas sales. In 2012 the three customers individually accounted for 46%, 23% and 21% of oil and gas sales. In 2011 the Company had two customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's oil and gas sales and who, in aggregate, accounted for 82% of oil and gas sales. In 2011 the two customers individually accounted for 59% and 23% of oil and gas sales.

Note 5 - Leases. The Company rents office space under a cancellable operating lease that expires April 30, 2022. The Company may cancel upon 30 days written notice and the payment of a termination fee of $3,000. In 2012 the Company incurred rent expense of $11,000, and in 2011 the Company incurred rent expense of $8,000.

Note 6 - Reclamation, Restoration, and Dismantlement (RR&D). The Company accounts for its RR&D costs in accordance with ASC Topic 410 "Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations." ASC 410 addresses obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement requires the Company to recognize a liability for the fair value of its plugging and abandonment liability (excluding salvage value) with the associated costs included as part of the Company's oil and gas properties balance. For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the plugging and abandonment liability was not material to the financial statements.

Note 7 - Supplemental Financial Data - Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited). The Company's operations are confined to the continental United States, and all of the Company's reserves are proved developed. Oil prices used are the average of the NYMEX settlement price for the spot month on the first day of each month of 2012, corrected to received price using a price differential. Income tax expense is not reflected in the tables below because of the anticipated utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and depletion carryforwards. The estimation of reserves is complex and subjective, and reserve estimates tend to fluctuate in light of new production data.
